[0039] The following further describes the present invention in detail with specific examples. All raw materials involved in the examples are obtained commercially.
[0040] Example 1
[0041] Step 1: Put 120 mL of dry ether and 1.5 g of lithium aluminum hydride into a 250 mL round-bottom flask, mix evenly, add 1.5 g of polyacrylonitrile, and stir for 12 hours under nitrogen protection. Filter and wash with deionized water, and then vacuum dry for 4 hours to obtain modified polyacrylonitrile (P-1).
[0042] Step 2: Dissolve 0.7 g of zirconium chloride in 50 mL of a mixed solvent (composed of 25 mL of water and 25 mL of DMF) and add 1.0 g of P-1 for impregnation for 10 minutes. After taking out the material, place it in a vacuum dryer at 130 °C for 2 hours to obtain salt-impregnated P-1;
